                    | Defined in header  <experimental/optional> | ||
| template<class T> struct hash<std::experimental::optional<T>>; | (library fundamentals TS) | |
The template specialization of std::hash for the std::experimental::optional class allows users to obtain hashes of the values contained in optional objects.
Template parameters
| T | - | the type of the value contained in optionalobject. The specialization std::hash<T> must meet the requirements of class templatehash. | 
Example
Run this code
#include <experimental/optional> #include <unordered_set> #include <string> #include <iostream> using namespace std::literals; int main() { // hash<optional> makes it possible to use unordered_set std::unordered_set<std::experimental::optional<std::string>> s = { "abc"s, std::experimental::nullopt, "def"s }; for(const auto& o : s) std::cout << o.value_or("(null)") << ' '; }
Possible output:
def abc (null)
